Immense CPU Usage

[Gauntir]

Hitting close to 30% cpu usage. I currently have an i7-4970k CPU which is pretty solid. Unsure as to why I am getting slammed.

That's a 6 years old CPU you got there. My Ryzen 3600 fluctuates from 16 ~ 18% CPU usage with Vtube Studio in highest settings. Try lowering your tracking level or webcam resolution.

I have a I7-7700K and it hovers around 20% (17-22), so your result is pretty much inline. From my testing that's similar to PrprLive and FaceRig CPU usage as well (17-26%). It's also inline with VSeeFace which is the facetracking engine used by the PC version of Vtube Studio.

There are a bunch of performance-related things I plan to improve on the VTube Studio side, but the face tracker itself is probably not going to get much lighter anytime soon.

I'm looking into alternative face tracking libraries all the time, so if I ever find something else I could implement in addition to OpenSeeFace, I'll definitely do it.

The program works really well compared to other trackers I have used. I was just making sure it was running as intended, but the performance makes sense with my older CPU as others have stated. Thanks for the info and keep up the good work : )

need more cores man

>_> My pc can barley handle modded Minecraft without performance mods. Here I thought 96% cpu was fairly average

well my CPU usage is at 100% max with OBS, VTS and discord on and can run minecraft at 30-40fps never reaching 60 and terraria is running like in slow motion. I am using i7-8750H which is a laptop CPU and i know CPU laptop has less power and beefiness compared to the desktop counterpart

More or less whats happening on my end with a 9700k but everything else seems to throttle itself down when it needs to. Debating if I should just get a new phone and run it there or bump myself to an i9

The 8750H is the same I have on my laptop and it's not the power of beefiness that is the problem, it's the heat. That generation of Intel CPUs is notorious for running hot and it's not uncommon to get regular performance drops even when just playing games that are more GPU intensive rather than CPU intensive, all because it very quickly hits the heat threshold and the thermal throttling kicks in causing those drops.

Only solution you got for that CPU is undervolting. I'll be doing that to mine when I get around to doing a ram and SSD capacity upgrade, since I'll be changing the thermal compound being used on the CPU

It seems that when you run this in discord it runs two instances of vstudio, so my cpu usage went from 15 --> 30% for streaming in discord, idk if it just appeared that way or if it was acutally doubling my CPU usage

Wait, as in two seperate ones or two instances inside Vstudio when seen from Task Manager? (basically, what happens with Firefox)

i5-9700, 1660 GTX, 32gb DDR4 3200mhz and trying to stream with this results in a slide show :/ RIP

Not trying to offend but there's a reason why when you see prebuilt streaming oriented pcs you notice they always got an i7 or AMD equivalent. This isn't a coincidence or just aiming at those who after streaming need to edit clips on the very same pc.

The reason they use that tier of CPU is because besides the game they're running they're also running recording software like OBS, which the encoding process in real time will take quite a bit of CPU load (Also, if you were using OBS to stream, check if your video encoder is set to NVENC, because that way your Nvidia card can lighten up the load on the CPU.

Word of caution for laptop users: don't do NVENC on OBS, apparently the way the hardware is wired on the laptop causes issues when you're trying to do window/game capture while encoding with the Nvidia GPU, and the only workaround is using the default x264 encoder, which is already less than ideal on a laptop (you best be using an i7 laptop in that case and stick to light gaming if you're gonna game and stream while running Vtube Studio), speaking from experience with an Asus SCAR II GL504GM, with an i7-8750H that easily thermal throttles doing light stuff like web browsing, 16gb ram and 6gb GTX 1060.

My PC runs on 100% usage while streaming games using Vseeface :')
